Description
A centers approach to teaching offers gifted students autonomy, choice, and differentiation in ways that challenge and stretch them individually. In this course, Erin Muck shares how she uses a centers approach in her language arts classroom with the goal of helping you make it work in your classroom.
The centers approach Ms. Muck uses and developed herself is called “The READ System.” She will walk you through the following:
- The power and advantages of using centers in your classroom
- Examples of what centers might look like in your classroom
- The specific benefits of using centers with your gifted students
She covers classroom setup, classroom organization, and demonstrates stations in action.
This course meets National Association for Gifted Children Teacher Preparation Standards 1.2, 2.1, and 2.1, as well as Ohio Department of Education competencies a, b, and c.

I thought this was a great course for older students.

I like that I am using something similar that works in my classroom.

Great course!
Ashley – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –
I felt this course was beneficial as it took something that we do in most of our classrooms and taught us how to focus it towards the higher level students.
Tara – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –
Personally, while I think I could somewhat adapt her method to elementary this session is geared way more toward upper elementary and up. As a 2nd grade teacher I am required to hold phonics/reading groups with my kids daily so the check-ins she does with the work they are doing would not work for me.
